But the tratter would get up the ramp not like a poser Fl

not many eggs for £220 😮

I fink some people modified their tratters to be able to do it, cos it’s a quicker way of tipping all the water out each week

Red wine cancels the white out, pour away 🤣 🤣

Me cook 🤣🤣 Im not allowed near the kitchen when shes in ;)

Got the tyres on, they charged £10 odd each plus vat for the balance, cheeky flippers!! Checked against the two Disco ones I got last week, no charge! I appreciate it is a little trickier, but even so. :mad:

I just checked with LR Parts, apparently they used to do the stainless steel pistons, but they stopped doing them and blokey said they weren't very good! which doesn't seem to be your experience! At the end of the day, Dot 4 is very corrosive so...

Proper landrovering

Afternoon Sun's shining and just got my truck insured for half the price that Adrian Flux wanted :D No sign of bathroom fitters 🤔 Have a good afternoon folks :)

Good idea! Din't know you could get them. ;)

Dry here no sun atm, rain forecast for tomorrow. Got a lad coming from Campbelltown for 2 pallets of slates. So I need to go & sort them out so its just a straight lift onto his trailer. :)

My bmw m3 had issues with the calipers seizing, I replaced the pistons with stainless steel ones never had a problem with them ever again. Think I had it 6 years. :)

...I was looking out of my front window yesterday while waiting for herself to return from dropping the g-kids back at my son's and I saw a chap struggling along the street carrying a bag of shopping. He is a bit of a character, always wears...

Mornin Dry and brightening up Bathroom inspection yesterday revealed that the shower tray will have to be lowered, that means either a bodge or floor up and start again, did tell em floor was high in the middle but they didn't listen :confused...

Just put a new one on, save all the hassle :)

Morning All. :D A lovely Spring day out there today. We have Sunshine. :) Have a lovely dy. :D

well.... The tail of the brake caliper has wagged the dog of the hub job. It remains unfinished as one brake piston refuses to go back into its hole. (The hub itself went on fine, more or less.) This work, under a wheel arch, in the heat, really...

As you know I did worry about all this from the outset. So sorry it has turned out like this. Personally I would not mess about with helicoils never having had any luck with them. I'd go straight for you number 3 solution but I wouldn't mess...

We usually get some snow at the end of March.

Yer we had some wild fires locally last week & that was after no rain for 2 weeks. :oops: (been bloody raining since last September) Im surprized anything was dry enough to burn.

Yer its getting towed to Aberdeen, I think Dales marine are getting it not us. Although things change, ive still got half a ship here to finish & other smaller boats queuing up to get to boaty heaven.

Thanks. OK, I have a 3-pronged attack. 1. A 5/16 drill & Tap (I would just have to file the hole in the heater take-off flange). 2. A 1/4" helicoil kit is on its way (be here tomorrow). 3. I could drill it and tap it at 8mm and make an...

If you can tap ANY thread size and form into the casting, can you make up a stepped stud, again with any thread type? Like the one in the attached pic, this particular one is 5/16 unf at one end and 7/16 unc at the other end.

Fill the hole with JB Weld then drill and tap to 1/4? It’s says you can

I have bought a 5/16 set to give it a try. ;)

Could you not retap the hole 1 size larger ? Should be able to do in- situ

Been bldy cold here too, 4° at night, that's cold for here and not usual for late March.

I do like a nice fire. My incinerator is my favourite garden implement and when using it I always chuckle about how much my father in law would hate it. Probably need to heap a load of stuff up and have a big burn up before it gets too dry/hot...

OK, well that's a bust. Continuing on from yesterday's fun and games I received some new 1/4" UNF bolts this morning. The front fixing seems pretty much ok and I can get a 1/4" UNF to get a decent purchase. The rear fixing is an entirely...
